Google Calendar, sexy

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

I just played with “Google Calendar”:http://calendar.google.com and I like it quite a bit. It’s simple to add events like in “Apple’s iCal”:http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ical/ and has some pretty cool sharing and invitation features. You can subscribe via the iCalendar(ics) standard too, read-only it looks like. It would be awesome if you could edit & view from a calendar app like iCal though. But so far impression is very good.

Lightbox, super cool

Monday, February 27th, 2006

So I just implemented the usage of “Lightbox”:http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/ on a work project since I wanted to make a full-image-viewer from clicking on thumbnails but did not want to have to go dig up the javascript for it etc. I then realized lightbox would be perfect since it’s usage on my blog. Lightbox isn’t anything new but it’s damn cool I must say. This just after being psyched about implementing “Ajax-powered drag & drop”:http://php.macsaresexy.com/sort/ on the same project, downside is the drag & drop doesn’t have a non-javascript method yet.
